REG: Conversion of Highly Stabilized CW Ring Dye Laser to Titanium Sapphire

根据本工程研究 设备补助金，光学 科学中心 亚利桑那州将升级一个高度 稳定的连续染料激光器 钛蓝宝石激光器 这 升级后的激光器将致力于 工程研究， 特别是光波技术。 钛蓝宝石激光器将在 用于多个研究项目： a）测量线性和 的非线性光学性质， V半导体晶体 我们的Riber 32 P MBE设备， 例如，应变层InGaAs/GaAs 多个量子威尔斯， 评估其潜在的低- 能量光调制器和低- 阈值激光器; B）研究 光谱烧孔和 我们的分子束外延生长的CW中的不稳定性 垂直腔面发射 激光器;和c）表征 具体的非线性特性 MBE生长的器件，例如我们的 InGaAs/GaAs非对称反射 模块化。

Under this Engineering Research Equipment Grant, the Optical Sciences Center at the University of Arizona will upgrade a highly stabilized CW dye laser to a titanium sapphire laser. This upgraded laser will be dedicated to research in engineering, specifically lightwave technology. The titanium sapphire laser will be used for several research projects: a) measurement of the linear and nonlinear optical properties of II- V semiconductor crystals grown on our Riber 32P MBE machine, for example, strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells, in order to assess their potential for low- energy optical modulators and low- threshold lasers; b) study of spectral hole burning and instabilities in our MBE-grown CW vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers; and c) characterization of the nonlinear properties of specific MBE-grown devices such as our InGaAs/GaAs asymmetric reflection modular.
